A Jubilee Gown.

A fair American wore train of "Jubilee'
brocade at Queen Victoria's last drawing
room. The color was white, brocaded in
blue and silver, with design in which the
rose, shamrock and thistle were tastefully
combined. The whole was edged with ruches
of soft blue crepe, tied with blue bows and
lined with blue satin. The petticoat was of
blue tulle exquisitely draped, the folds
being caught here and here with great clus-
tiers of pink-shaded roses without foliage.
These flowers were SO beautifully made that
the petals quivered loosely with each move
the brocade, was trimmed with folds of blue
crepe, crossing each other in front, and with
sleeves also formed of folds of crepe.-London

Moisture is the greatest enemy of the
piano, and it cannot be too carefully guard

Hard soap should be kept in dry place
several weeks before using. 1t will last
much longer.
Never have dark furniture in the kitchen;
it shows dust much more than light and
requires double the care.
Do not use cracked dishes; they absorb
oils or fats from different kinds of food,
which render them unwholesome.
Ingram carpets need to be shaken oftener
than Brussels, as from their more open
weave the dust percolates through them.
